Frequently asked questions about cease-and-desist letters
What is a cease-and-desist letter (Abmahnung)?
A demand to stop a certain conduct, usually with a pre-drafted cease-and-desist declaration (Unterlassungserklärung) and a claim for costs. It is meant to avoid a lawsuit.
Should I sign the cease-and-desist declaration?
Not without checking it. Pre-drafted declarations often go too far and bind you with high contractual penalties. Have it checked first.
What happens if I let the deadline pass?
Then the other side can apply for a preliminary injunction or sue. That is usually much more expensive.
How much does the defence cost?
Basic €490, Plus €950, Pro €1,450, each plus VAT at a fixed price.
